Highly recommended Mediterranean islands: Crete and Cyprus. Also Dubrovnik on the Croatian coast! Place to avoid at all cost: Syria! Skip the coast of North Africa (beautiful places but not safe enough) Worth a visit: splendid Sicily, but be even more careful than in Rome and Barcelona!

Saw him at the Blue Note club in Paris back in 1959. He was traveling around in a vintage Rolls-Royce which was parked outside the club. Was a fan then, still am!

Frémeaux does its own mastering. It's pretty good. The company is quite busy and pruduces a rich and varied catalogue as can be checked on their website http://www.fremeaux.com/

Another discussion about copyright limits... they bore me to death! Don't think Sony lost a ton of money when Frémeaux started its Intégrale Armstrong. If Sony had done a proper job with its material there would be no place for labels like Frémeaux. Did my part when purchasing those Armstrongs when they were reissued by Columbia but what a mess it was! Glad to be a European and able to enjoy the material without any remorse

Ubu, thanks for pointing out the previous thread which I missed when I was away from the Board. Still waiting for some advisory about the audio...

I Got Rhythm is on CD1 of the 3-CD set 'The Complete Louis Armstrong, Vol. 6' out of the Frémeaux collection, as legitimate as any of the Sony releases A beautiful collection!
